It's pretty safe in Tokyo. Not every city requires you to be on the constant lookout for your own safety.
Perhaps you're used to cities with higher crime rates, and are projecting that onto every city.

- marcan_42 5y agoI mean, assuming your experiences are shared to some extent with everyone else's is a pretty human thing to do. It's also a particularly American thing to do, perhaps for cultural reasons. My point is this isn't a hypothetical; you can walk around Tokyo at night and be fine.

- alephnan 5y agoI think you're the one who has no idea what you are talking about and should just accept that you're wrong. > I wouldn't recommend [wandering around like a clueless tourist, late at night] in any part of any city. I have lived in Tokyo, NYC, San Francisco for at least 2 years each. Tokyo is a concrete and non-hypothetical counterexample to your proposition. > We can always construct hypothetical situations that meet some criteria. How is not recommending going to dangerous neighborhoods in America a hypothetical situation? There is statistical data and crime maps. You cannot deny that.
